A pitchers’ duel for the ages at Victory Field in Indianapolis. In the end, the unranked Carroll High School Chargers defeated number 1 Indianapolis Cathedral in a 1-0 shutout to become the Class 4A State Champions. The win marks the school’s first team state title in any sport.

Carroll senior Curtis Wise won with a complete-game shutout, yielding just four hits. The Chargers scored in the top of ninth for the game’s only run.

Justin Glass hit a two-out single, then advanced to second on a passed ball.

Wise then held the Fighting Irish in check in the bottom of the ninth.
